Today we celebrated Skye’s graduation. Probably my favorite memory of Skye in the youth group was when she wanted to get baptized at the Fall Retreat and the pool was drained so we had to wait until we got to church and the entire drive back she kept telling me to drive carefully because she couldn’t be in an accident and die before she got baptized. Once we finally got back to the building we had evening services and then went over to the baptistry, only to find out that it was about 115 degrees and was scalding hot. I think if we had let her she would have just jumped in anyways and then gone straight to the burn unit and told you it was worth it. Instead we had a group of guys start bringing trash cans and buckets of ice from the other building until the water was cool enough for her to get baptized.
To me that moment represents so much of who Skye is. She knows who God is and she knows who she is and she goes after what she believes in. She doesn’t let obstacles or problems get in her way and she brings out the best in the people around her. I am so proud of everything she has done and know that God has great things in store for her.
Today’s other highlights include watching Inter Milan win the Champions League Final with Ryan, a 9 mile bike ride with the Carters (Troy and I had kids in tow), and I checked my lottery ticket and had no numbers right. All in all, a very good day.
Thank you.
AWEEEEE :} Thanks Kent!!
